PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 298,799, dated May 20, 1884. Application filed September 19, 1883. (No model.)

To (LZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, CHARLES WV. TROW, of \Vakefield, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Carriages for Infants and Dolls, of which the following isa specification.

In the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference indicate like parts, Figure 1 is a side elevation of an infants or dolls carriage embodying my invention, the frame being shown in longitudinal vertical section. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the latch or look detached.

A represents the carriage-body, and B the frame. V

C C are springs, shaped somewhat after the fashion of a C-spring, having their lower ends secured to the frame B beneath the body, and extending upward, as shown, at the head and foot of the carriage-body, and terminating in hook shape. Supporting-rodsDD, of hook shape,pass through suitable openings near the free ends of the springs C, and are rigidly secured to the opposite ends of the body A. The springs C not only provide a very gentle and easy motion for the carriage as it passes over an uneven surface, but they allow the body to swing laterally, so that the carriage may be used as a crib.

The carriage-body may be held stationary,

if desired, by means of the locking device E, secured to the bottom thereof, and provided with the spring-bolt 0, guides f, and thumbessarily of the shape shown, is pivoted at h to the frame B, and is adapted to be swung up into the latch or look E and caught by the bolt 6 thereof, being guided into position by piece 9 is pushed one side, and, being fulcrumed at g and secured to the bolt 6, withdraws the latter.

Any suitable locking device may be used which is adapted for the purpose.

hen the arm H is not in use, it can rest easily on the frame or on a rest constructed for the purpose.

Having thus fully described my invention,

Patent, is

In an infants or dolls carriage, the combination, with a laterally-swinging carriagebody provided with a latch or looking deadapted to catch in said locking device, substantially as and for the purpose described.
